At the INVICTA Anti-Aging Clinic, we treat both acne vulgaris and rosacea using advanced CPL (Calibrated Pulsed Light) laser technology. This method effectively targets even active acne, and when performed as a series, it promotes faster healing of inflamed areas, supports skin regeneration, and helps diminish post-inflammatory discoloration.

Following these guidelines helps ensure your skin is well-prepared and minimizes the risk of irritation during the procedure.
This treatment is designed for individuals struggling with acne—both vulgaris and rosacea—as well as those dealing with inflammation and excessive sebum production.
During the treatment, we use CPL (Calibrated Pulsed Light) technology to reduce the presence of anaerobic bacteria responsible for acne breakouts. The light also helps shrink sebaceous glands, leading to decreased oil production and a more balanced complexion.
For optimal results, a series of treatments is recommended—typically between 4 and 6 sessions. When treating active acne, sessions can be repeated every 3–4 days. For less active or healing acne, treatments are usually spaced 7–10 days apart. If the skin becomes irritated, a soothing or cooling cream can be applied locally. It’s absolutely essential to protect the treated areas from sun exposure for at least 4 weeks following each session.
This treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in cases of vitiligo or other autoimmune disorders, tumors or cancer, and for individuals with hypersensitive skin. It should also be avoided if you’ve recently had Botox or dermal fillers in the treatment area (a minimum one-week gap is required), or if you have uncontrolled diabetes, certain mental health conditions, gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea or vomiting, or any infectious or contagious diseases.
Additional contraindications include sunburn, active cold sores in the treatment area, a tendency to form hypertrophic scars or keloids, use of photosensitizing substances or medications (including isotretinoin), light sensitivity, recent sun exposure or tanning, the presence of a pacemaker or insulin pump, metal implants, thrombosis, vein inflammation, visible bruising, broken skin, epilepsy, and unstable blood pressure—either high or low. If any of these conditions apply, it’s essential to consult with a specialist before proceeding.

The most commonly observed effects after the treatment include: a burning or stinging sensation (which may last for a few hours), redness and swelling as a direct result of the procedure, itching—particularly around the nose and cheeks—and increased skin sensitivity in the treated area.
Alternative treatment options include pharmacological therapies and chemical peels (cleansing). Depending on the severity and cause of the condition, the specialist selects the most appropriate method, taking into account medical indications, contraindications, and the patient’s expectations.
